Conclusions and Discussion

In all countries the effect of individual SES is sizeable and statistically sig­
nificant. The same applies to the SES context of schools, the aggregate SES
of students at school levels is related significantly to student CIL, and this
relationship is much stronger than for the individual student SES. The
models were controlled for individual (educational attainment, attitudes
towards technology and self-efficacy in using ICT), ICT use (frequency at
home, school or other locations, use for different purposes) did not mit­
igate the digital divide based on SES. Moreover, none of the numerous
school ICT variables in different aspects (resources, emphasis, views on
the importance, use in instruction, management, teacher professional var­
iables, etc.) did mitigate this gap.
